About a month and a half after purchasing this vehicle I took my family (wife and kids) on a weekend trip. It was about an 8-hour drive there and 8 hours back. About 3 hours into the trip my left leg started aching where it meets the seat cushion. I made mention of it to my wife and decided to push on with our journey. About 20 minutes later the pain had radiated into my left hip, and lower back. Luckily I had a pillow in the car that was brought for the kids to lean on as they usually nap on these long trips. I have spoken with the dealer and Honda corporate. Corporate wants a repair estimate to move forward, and the dealer will not provide me with one because after a lengthy test with another Hr-v it was concluded that the issue exists in all Hr-v models and therefore is a manufacturer defect/issue. This puts me between a rock and a hard place. I wish I could do what others have and just trade this thing in leaving Honda and looking at it as the worst decision I ever made and move on with my life, but I do not have that option at the moment.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Hr-v. The contact stated that there were several failures with the vehicle. The driver's side door window kept going up and down, the electric power steering (eps) failed, the eps warning indicator flashed, and the steering wheel seized while reversing the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off, restarted, and taken to grappone imports inc (519 route 3a, bow, nh 03304, 800-528-8993), but the dealer was unable to duplicate and diagnose the failures. There was no diagnostic trouble code present at the time. The contact was provided with a loaner vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 5. The VIN was not available.
Got the car on October 2017, drove it off the lot brand new is a 2018 car driving to my house the lights on my dashboard lights up breaks, motor, oil, air on tires, all of them light up like a christmas tree, I took to the Honda dealer and the assistant manager reset the car because the service department was closed. A week later the lights came up again. I call them and they told me to bring in the car they don't know what's going on since this is a new car with no recalls. I guess the reset the car again and gave it back to me. December 2017 again the lights came on I called the dealership now I'm worried because I don't want to drive a car where I don't know if my breaks are working or any other part of the car since I'm driving this car every day to work. They told me it was the oil pump they order one and changed it. Here we are on March 26, 2018, and the lights are all backlighting my dashboard there must be something wrong with this car. I am scared to drive this car.
